Went on a merchant’s site on safari. I have been on this site many times and never logged into any account on it. Today I went on the website on safari and it was showing another person’s account. I have no idea who they are. No one has access to my phone or connection but me. How is this possible?
I called the merchant, who is a reputable mainstream merchant, and sent a ticket to their IT. I’m waiting for a response, but in the meantime, I’m wondering how this is possible. I have never signed into any account for this site on safari. I have signed onto my own account for this merchant in Firefox. I do not know who the person is whose account showed up in safari. I wasn’t logged in but when I went to the merchant’s homepage it said “Hi Ashley Moore” and then I saw there was a 5 in the cart icon, I clicked on it and it showed 5 items I have never heard of. It then asked me to log in and showed an email for this Ashley person. What could cause this? Could my safari have been hacked? No one but me has access to my phone.
